Turkey shut down the Iraqis’ vital oil outlet to the Mediterranean, abiding by a U.N. trade embargo or dered to punish Iraq for last week’s lightning conquest of Kuwait. In Saudi Arabia, the Iraqi oil flow was reportedly slowing to a trickle through another pipeline. Despite the global pressure, Iraqi President Saddam Hussein re mained defiant, declaring in a na tionwide speech he would never back down. “We would rather die than be hu miliated,” he said, “and we will pluck out the eyes of those who attack the Arab nation.” A crisis atmosphere took hold in Washington, where Bush called to gether his Cabinet to review options for squeezing Iraq and rolling back its invasion force, which the White House declared posed an “imminent threat” to out-manned Saudi Arabia. One option was a multinational naval blockade. But in Moscow the Soviet Foreign Ministry deflated ex pectations that even the Soviet navy might join such a maritime boycott, declaring that “naval muscle-flexing ... is not the best line of action.” Later, the Pentagon source said the president ordered deployment of U.S. combat troops and warplanes to Saudi Arabia .to help protect the U.S.-aligned desert kingdom against Iraq. The sources said the units are ex pected to include the 18th Airborne Corps from Fort Bragg, N.C.; the 24th Division (Mechanized) from Fort Stewart, Ga.; and the 101st Air borne Division from Fort Campbell, Ky. Current events may force postponement of oil test WASHINGTON (AP) — A gov ernment agency’s pretend oil supply crisis drill may be postponed because events in the Persian Gulf could cause a real one, a spokesman said Tuesday. The Department of Energy planned a mock crisis in October with oil companies and states to test distribution of the Strategic Petro leum Reserve, a 590-million barrel emergency supply kept in Texas and Louisiana. But Iraq’s invasion of Kuwait is causing officials to think about post ponement, DOE spokesman John Donnelly said. A decision may be made later this week, he said. “There’s a possibility that we might actually use the (reserve) and if we do that makes the test moot,” Donnelly said. “Who knows what could happen?” Congressional Democrats asked President Bush to tap the reserve now, in order to stop the energy price spiral the Iraai invasion started. But Deputy Energy Secre tary Henson Moore has said the re serve would not be used to flood the market and drive prices down. John Easton, deputy assistant sec retary of energy for international af fairs and energy emergencies, told a House panel Tuesday the agency is ready to use it if there is a “severe energy supply interruption.” President Bush interrupted the supply of oil from Iraq with an em bargo after last week’s takeover. During the first four months of 1990, the United States imported about 700,000 barrels a day, 4 per cent of its demand, from Iraq and Kuwait. The reserve was established in re sponse to the 1973-74 Arab oil em bargo and built to its current size at a cost of about $20 million. It has been tapped only once, when Congress ordered 2 million barrels auctioned to oil companies in 1985. U.S. Defense Secretary Did ney, in Egypt, persuaded Eg) officials to allow the U.S. airtr carrier Eisenhower to transit Suez Canal on Tuesday nigli move closer to the embattled & | iave ta i^ ec j Another source said the American GIs would be part of a multinational force, a condition set by the Saudis. Capitol Hill sources said Egypt and Morocco were joining the effort. As diplomats worked to arrange for evacuation of Americans and other foreigners stranded in Kuwait and Iraq, tensions heightened along the Saudi border with Kuwait. Travelers reported seeing Saudi missiles deployed along the frontier, and a Beirut newspaper said the Iraqi occupation force in Kuwait in stalled missiles near the border to strike at Saudi oil wells if foreign forces lunged into Kuwait.

There is no guarantee the two sides will find a peace ful solution to three centuries of racial conflict. There is growing violence and the threat of major confrontation as rival groups struggle for power. ANC leader Nelson Mandela announced Tuesday af ter talks with the government that his group was ending its military operations. The cease-fire clears the way for talks on ending white-minority rule. “The way is now open to proceed towards negotia tions on a new constitution,” the two sides said in a joint declaration. The two sides have made enormous strides since President F.W. de Klerk legalized the ANC and other opposition groups in February and freed Mandela after 2/ years in jail. In just a few months, the white govern ment that created apartheid has pledged to share power with the black majority. South Africa’s racial conflict has been going on for some 350 years. In that time there have been virtually no attempts to have blacks and whites live together in peace and equality. Political violence has soared since de Klerk legalized opposition groups and began political reforms. Most of the violence pits rival black factions against each other as they scramble for power. Some 4,000 blacks have been killed in savage fighting in Natal Province in recent years between ANC groups and Inkatha, a conservative political movement. The vi olence is spreading to other provinces and enveloping other groups. The violence seems to be growing despite repeated promises from the ANC and the government to make every effort to stop the killings. The peace process also faces violent resistance from right-wing whites who oppose any settlement with the black majority. The extremists have demanded the cre ation of a separate white state. White extremists have been implicated in a recent wave of bombings and killings. Security officials say even a few dozen white extremists, heavily armed and with supporters in the security forces, could cause havoc. Enormous divisions remain between whites and blacks. Each group has little understanding or knowl edge of the other. Contact between most whites and blacks is minimal and there is enormous distrust and fear on both sides. Whites still dominate politics and the economy. Offi cial figures indicate that 5 percent of South Africans, virtually all of them white, own 88 percent of the coun try’s wealth. The ANC and other opposition groups contend that political equality must be matched by a drastic redistri bution of wealth to quickly ease the plight of the mil lions of poor blacks. The government agrees there is a need for change, but opposes any scheme that would threaten free enterprise and private property.

In remarks prepared for deliv ery, the new president proposed setting up an international crimi nal court to try drug traffickers, who he said were guilty of “crimes against humanity.” Gaviria was sworn in at 4:22 p.m. EDT. Despite a cease-fire purpor tedly declared by drug traffickers last month, security was tight for the inauguration ceremonies, which were attended by 88 for eign delegations. The United States was represented by Vice President Dan Quayle, who ar rived Tuesday morning. Four armored U.S. Blackhawk helicopters equipped with missiles accompanied Quayle’s helicopter from the airport to an army base. Gaviria, 43, who was elected in May to a four-year term to re place President Virgilio Barco, in herits a nation weary of its fight w'ith terrorists and drug traffick ers and looking for an end to the violence. Barco, who was prohibitied by the constitution from running again, received international praise for launching the govern ment’s war against drug traffick ers one year ago. Barco will re portedly become Colombia’s next ambassador to Britain “Drug trafficking is the main threat against our democracy. We will fight it without concessions,” Gaviria said, according to a text of his inauguration speech made available to reporters. But he said Colombia cannot win the fight alone, and must re ceive help from the United States and Western Europe. He said Colombia is not a wealthy country, and called on the major industrialized nations to lower their trade barriers to help Colombia finance the drug war. “It’s not direct economic aid, or military assistance we need most. It’s fair treatment. It’s free trade,” Gaviria said. He also said the United States and other countries must do more to cut consumption of co caine. “No success is possible if the consuming countries do not achieve a substantial reduction in demand,” he said. Young finishes behind opponent in July primary Associated Press Lt. Gov. Zell Miller scored a whopping victory in Georgia’s Democratic gubernatorial runoff Tuesday, dashing Andrew Young’s hopes of becoming the nation’s second elected black gov- With 87 percent of precincts reporting, Miller had 500,211 votes or 63 percent and Young had 290,577 votes or 37 percent. Young, a former Atlanta mayor, congressman and U.S. ambassador to the United Na tions, finished 12 percentage points behind Miller in the pri mary July 17. Two polls released last week showed him trailing by as much as 20 points heading into the runoff. That showing came in spite of an aggressive runoff strategy in which Young suggested that Miller, a white moderate who has been lieutenant governor for 16 years, pushed banking legislation that helped his friends. Miller, 58, denied the charge and kept plugging away at the major themes of his campaign, in cluding support for a state lot tery. Young, also 58, conceded tha! the polls showed he would need a “miracle” to win, but added, “Pollsters have never known what they’re talking about.” The winner of the runoff faces Republican Johnny Isakson in November. Democratic Gov. Joe Frank Harris was barred by las* from seeking a third consecutive term. In Kansas, first-term Gov Mike Hayden fought for survival in a Republican primary as his chief opponent, real estate exec utive Nestor Weigand Jr., tried to capitalize on voter anger over higher property taxes. On the Democratic side, former Gov John Carlin was favored to win the first round of a comeback bid Two other states also held pri maries. Michigan Republicans picked opponents for two Demo cratic incumbents seeking third terms — Gov. James Blanchard and Sen. Carl Levin. Polls showed Rep. Bill Schuette a heavy favor ite over lawyer Clark Durant for the right to challenge Levin. State Sen.
